Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website represents the Savez opština i gradova Republike Srpske, a governmental and non-profit organization supporting municipalities and cities in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It provides information on organizational structure, program areas, projects, news, and events, targeting local governments and citizens. The site demonstrates a stable market position as a local government representative with strong international partnerships. Technically, the website uses a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics and Mailchimp. It enforces HTTPS and uses client-side redirection to ensure secure connections. However, no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, and some security best practices like DNSSEC and security headers are missing. From a security perspective, the site has a moderate posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the content. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content. Overall, the website is professional and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and formalized policies to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization operates as a non-profit governmental alliance representing municipalities and cities in Republika Srpska. Its business model focuses on advocacy, support, and coordination of local governments. The website highlights partnerships with international agencies such as the Swedish government, Swiss cooperation, UNDP, and others, indicating strong external support and funding. The target audience includes local government officials, public institutions, and citizens. The site content and structure suggest a medium-sized organization with a long history since 2004. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and operational capacity.

Security posture

The security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain has clientTransferProhibited status, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like CSP or HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. Incident response mechanisms or security contact channels are not disclosed. Third-party scripts from Google and Mailchimp are used, which require monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in compliance and layered security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Publish security incident response contact information and consider adding a security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend technology stack with Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Font Awesome for UI components and animations. Google Fonts are used for typography. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics and Mailchimp for newsletter management. The site enforces HTTPS via JavaScript redirect but lacks server-side security headers. Performance is moderate with standard optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or template-based implementation. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
